One of the red LEDs next to 

the dials on your signal 

booster is flashing red.

Your signal booster 

restarted and shut down 

for 15 minutes, and is now 

shut down permanently.

The red LED goes ON.

The Power LED does not 

turn ON

Turn down the dB gain on the dial until the light goes OFF or turns 

yellow.

Be sure the inside panel antenna is facing away from the outside 

antenna.

Use the recommended antenna separation:

72dB: 100-110 ft. separation

65dB: 75-80 ft. separation                         

55dB: 60 ft. separation                        

50dB: 50 ft. separation                         

45dB: 15-20 ft. separation                          

40dB: 5-6 ft. separation                          

Signal booster has no power

After installing your signal boost-

er system, you have no signal or 

reception.

Verify that the booster switch is turned on.

Connect the power supply to an alternate power source. Be sure 

the AC outlet is working and is not controlled by a wall switch that 

can cut power to the outlet. If the green 

POWER LED 

on the signal 

booster is OFF, return the power supply to SureCall. Contact tech 

support at 1-888- 365-6283 or [email protected], or go to 

www.surecall.com and log on to online support to receive a Return 

Merchandise Authorization (RMA).

Check the strength of the outside signal as close as you can to the 

outside antenna. (see instructions on page 7)

Double-check all signal booster and antenna cable connections.

Be sure your signal booster’s dB gain is turned up to full power on 

each dial. (see apge 14)

Each SureCall signal booster is equipped with Auto Shutdown to 

prevent cell tower interference. The outside antenna may be close 

to a cell tower. Move the outside antenna to a location that provides 

sufficient distance from the cell tower to prevent the signal booster 

from automatically enabling Auto Shutdown. Once away from the 

original location, perform the procedure under step 3 on page 10

More antenna separation is needed. If you cannot provide more 

antenna separation and the Alert LEDs flash after the initial activation 

period, lower the dial above the blinking LED by 5dB (for example, 

from 50 to 45) and monitor the bars on your cell phone to see 

whether reception improves.

Be sure the AC outlet is working and is not controlled by a wall 

switch that can cut power to the outlet.

Problem

Resolution

LED flashing yellow

This means that the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is adjusting 

which is part of the boosters normal operation
